10/26 More Sex With Kim Cattrall!

Quote From: kaykwilts

Dr. Phil comes on at 3 in the afternoons where I live.  My kids are usually home from school at this time.  I don't think this topic should be discussed in time periods where kids can listen in.  The topics that are going to be discussed should not be heard by kids.  I know I can just turn off the tv but sometimes my kids turn on the tv without me knowing it.  They love watching Dr. Phil.  They are 13 and 15.  We are a Christian family and believe in waiting until marriage.  We don't believe in shacking up either.  I certainly don't want them exposed to some liberal ideas like this show's guest probably will have. 

If your children are 13 and 15, they are probably hearing views much more shocking than this expressed in their school each and every day. If you really want to take control, watch the show with your children. Give them your side of the issues and listen to the other sides. Then talk among yourself about what they've heard in school, what they believe, and what your faith teaches you. Sometimes the shows I disagree with most lead to the best discussions with my own two children.

I have always talked to my children about sex because: 

  

- I truly want them to have a healthy, open attitude towards sex.  I believe hiding and secrecy teaches them fear and shame. 

  

- I want them to feel comfortable with me to discuss sex when they do have questions or concerns. That means I have to be comfortable talking to them too.  When I was pregnant with my son and my 5 year old daughter was curious, we talked a lot (she even asked me what it felt like!) 

  

- I want to teach my children my values and not let the media and their friends do it for me. That means watching something like the show Friends together with them and discussing the story line.   

  

Your children will be exposed to liberal ideas no matter what you do. I have chosen for my children  to allow the exposure to happen when they are with me, where we can discuss it.

Amen to that! We are also a Christian family who believe you should wait until marriage to have sex and we don't believe in shacking up either. Unfortunatly not everyone will agree, because they are blind to the things of this world. God bless you!

     Regardless of what others might think, you are being quite prudent in your decision not to allow your kids to watch this particular show. It is clearly for adults only, and does tend to promote some rather liberal ideas about sex. I agree with you about waiting until marriage to have sex; it's like waiting until Christmas to open a very special gift. I'm sure there are numerous individuals out there who, although are enjoying themselves somewhat, wished they had waited. To me, the pleasure isn't worth the possible pitfalls. I'd like to think I have much more respect for myself than that. Stick to your guns, and God bless you.

Yes, your way of thinking is correct.   

Shelter your children, and by no means talk about silly issues like sex. 

I am sure at 13 and 15 years old, they hear and see nothing about sex.  And, I am sure they have no sexual feelings themselves.   

Get a grip!   

Being a Christian does not absolve you from being a good parent. 

Good parents will talk with their kids about sex. And, drugs,smoking, how to be financially responsible, how to be a loving-compassionate person, how to solve arguments, and the list goes on and on!  That is what good parenting is.  Talking to your children.  Not just once, but all of the time! 

Perhaps you could use a show like this to start a healthy discussion about sex with your children.  

Just because you believe in waiting until marriage and not shacking up, does not mean that your kids do not have their own ideas about these issues.  And, wouldn't you like to hear what they are thinking? 

Too many people in our society portray sex as "bad" or "harmful", and something not to be discussed.  Especially with children. 

This is crazy.  All humans are sexual beings.  Including children!  That is why it is so important to be able to have healthy discussions about sex, and to teach our children about sex.   

Education is the key to overcoming ignorance.  

Perhaps if we were all more open about sex and sexuality, we would not have so much sexual disfunction in our society.  (Rapes and child molestation increase year after year in our county!)Also, read some of the post on this site.  You will find a hundred different sexual problems from lack of desire, to divorce from lack of sexual compatability and many other things.   

You may consider this post "liberal".  But if being liberal means being honest with our children, and treating them with respect, and above all- being open minded, then I will take it!
